Dave Cline, a 28-year-old data manager from Philadelphia, decided to take an unconventional approach to dating by renting a billboard to express his search for love. Located near 34th and Wharton, the billboard displayed a message inviting potential dates to contact his Instagram handle. While he anticipated modest attention, his bold move went viral, attracting thousands of messages from around the world. Although he remains single, the experience has bolstered his confidence and reinforced his belief in being authentic. Cline's lighthearted approach to dating has resonated widely, generating unexpected interest and connections.
I just kind of decided to stay true to myself, and that's what people really latched on to. It was a good confidence boost.
I was getting messages like, 'Hey, you've reached France, Germany, Brazil, Africa, Canada - everywhere!"
It was a 12-foot by 12-foot square, just had me, and it said, 'Dave is single. Want to go on a date with Dave? Message him here.'
